LH-309-VS : Lacks a decent factory setup

Ordered the guitar and tried it out. Was dissatisfied and had to return it. If you decide to keep this instrument then expect to put in extra money for a decent set up.

The factory fretwork is unbearable. After playing with it for a few hours, my hand was so scratched I just couldn't continue. The fret ends were so sharp they cut the skin off my hand and fingers. Also, the strings sound very raspy against the frets when bending.

The neck itself has a quite pronounced V-shape. This might be uncomfortable at first but nothing one couldn't get used to. In fact it's one of the unique characteristics of this instrument.

The pickup was quiet as a mouse in a clean setting. On the other hand the tone control wasn't very smooth. I noticed the most change from about 3-1.

Another thing I noticed was that there was lots of sawdust and such inside the guitar.

Other than that It's a decent enough instrument for the money. Especially considering there aren't many P90 archtops available in this price range.
